Distance learning via satellite offers industry an opportunity to provide high-quality, cost-effective education to employees and customers. IBM's U.S. Satellite Education Network broadcasts 12 concurrent courses to 47 locations, comprising 238 individual classrooms across the continent. Our satellite network uses interactive digital multimedia technology and was designed for interactivity, making it easy for students to ask questions and for instructors to exploit the use of multimedia. We have found that all successful satellite courses incorporate critical factors in the development process. These include visuals that convey concepts effectively with varied, frequent interactions that hold the student's attention and reinforce key learning points. Training of instructors and administrators is another focus of a successful satellite instructional system. We are constantly learning from our satellite efforts and have both short-term and long-term enhancements under way, taking us closer to our vision of the future for distance learning.

This book uncovers a unique post-war film production programme and explores how this first British government intervention into 'visual education' is relevant to film education today. In 1943 the Ministry of Education took the decision to sponsor production of an experimental programme of nonfiction films specifically for the classroom. Almost 70 years later, the British Film Institute launched a new strategic development plan, at the centre of which was the aim to prove the value of '21st century literacy' to Government and embed film in the school curriculum. This aim had been the focus of film education initiatives in previous decades, without resolution. Through archival research into original documents and the films, The Ministry of Education Film Experiment builds a story of conflict and collaboration between the Ministry and the filmmakers, offering an insight into why the struggle for government recognition of film education still remains

The paper looked at various challenges confronting tertiary institutions in Nigeria, such as insecurity, cultism, examination malpractices, corruption, poor funding among others. The paper highlighted importance of science and technical education in overcoming these challenges. Emphasis was laid on skill acquisition programme; entrepreneurship education and Community Learning Service (CLS) for both science and technical students in tertiary institutions. The paper was concluded by suggesting some recommendations for tackling tertiary institutions challenges in Nigeria such as funding of Science and Technical Education programs in Nigerian tertiary institutions; the funding should not be left for government alone, but stake holders and private/corporate organizations should join hands in funding Nigerian tertiary institutions.

This essay discusses the Phenomenology and Human Formation according to Edmund Husserl's perspective. It is a reflection of use of the term "phenomenology', which provides the understanding of the meaning and significance of the phenomenon. It also points out that a major concern in phenomenology as method is to evidence the structures in which the experience occurs. Phenomenology must disclose, in the description of the experiences, the universal structures where they are based. It presents the categories of intentionality and epoche and the essay looks foward to the aknowledgement of every act of knowledge (noema) and its correspondence to an specific mode of consciousness (noesis). It also presents the husserlian category of Lebenswelt (the world-of-life), which is a fundamental and significant conception for Husserl throughout his career as a man and rigorous researcher. The text discusses the European humanity and human crisis and it offers a contribution to problematize education and current problems faced by humanity.

Introduction. The slow movement in universities is a reaction to the economic-centricity and commodification of higher education and science, the standardization and quantifiability of research and educational activities, the expansion of digital technologies` use in the generation and assimilation of knowledge, the imposition of the cult of speed on the academic and student communities. Rapid knowledge practices are becoming a trend in the context of digitalization of higher education. At the same time, the slow movement in Russian universities remains marginal and poorly institutionalized. The article analyzes the philosophical concepts that underlie the slow movement in universities and substantiates the importance of an anthropopractical approach to the study of slow science and slow education.Methodology and sources. The technocratic approach to the digitalization of higher education contributes to the spread of high-speed science and learning practices based on the reduction of knowledge to information, the growth of knowledge – to extension and cumulation, the cognitive motivation – to competition, greed and ambition. Turning to an anthropopractic approach allows us to overcome this reductionism. Slow science and slow education as anthropological practices are based on the desire of subjects of cognition for dialogue, reflection, improvisation and creative self-realization, self-organization and autodesign, intellectual enjoyment, sustainable, ecological coexistence. Digital technologies are only driving tools for this practice.Results and discussion. Slow practices in education and science are considered in this article, firstly, as an antithesis to the practices of posthumanism and futuro design, overcoming imperfect human nature and movement towards a posthuman with the help of nano-, bio-, information, cognitive and social technologies. Secondly, slow science and slow education as anthropological practices are opposed to managerial practices that form educational environments hostile to a person, the characteristic features of which are competition and hierarchy in the system "effective – ineffective", "winners – losers", "successful – catching up – lagging behind". Conclusion. The authors see the optimal scenario for the transfer of slow practices to the sphere of higher education in Russia in achieving a balance between pragmatism, a shortterm policy and effectivenes, and a reflective position that ensures an anthropological orientation and sustainable development of modern universities.

Cites education as a sphere of tremendous achievement for Lithuanian women with 58.6 per cent of university and 70 per cent of high school graduates being female. Portrays the relationship between men and women in the country, looking at teaching and academic life in particular. Concludes that top positions are still difficult to achieve and progress is slow. Notes some changes in one institution.
